Begin by understanding what your visa options really are.
Click here to view the IR-1 / CR-1 Guide or check out the Guides Section for more helpful information on Spousal Visa's, as well as other visa types that apply depending on where you and your spouse currently reside.
Once you file you will have several options available to track your case.
As a note: This visa option is automatically applied for by K-3 applicants when they file the I-130 (part of the K-3 process). Historically the K-3 was used to allow the US Citizens spouse to enter the US faster than waiting for the I-130 to be approved (since that used to take a long time). Recent reductions in processing times have allowed I-130's to be approved quick enough that the IR1/CR1 visa process has been a quicker and better option for K-3 applicants. If this happens the K-3 applicant can abandon the K-3 route and persue the IR1/CR1 instead.

Sent I-130 January 24,2014
Received January 31,2014
NOA1 February 3,2014
Now case is under initial review so now the wait starts.. Sent it to Phoenix and got immediately transferred to Nebraska for processing
So I'm not too far behind you! Good luck!

OK, all documents are collected and I sent my packet to UCICS today. Long journey has now just begun.
Please post some text if there are any others on the same timeline(2014 Feb I130 Filers)

Haven't filed the packet yet almost have my packet ready just need to get info first anyone still trying to get this done i have money issues this is why it's taking so long.

Please search for Saylin's NVC wiki. It has detailed the entire NVC process. You must submit all the documents to NVC otherwise they will not continue processing your case.

If that's the rule for the state she lives in yes. Every state has different waiting periods some not at all. Ask your spouse.

I'm a woman who was born and raised in the USA, and currently live here in California. I met a really nice Egyptian man online. We've known each other for a while, talking on the microphone for hours, in Skype on a daily basis. He is a teacher, currently working in Saudi Arabia. He vacations home to Egypt for the summers.
Just before him, I had divorced a man after a 6 year marriage, in which I was a "house wife", only earning a small part-time income from home (husband earned plenty). After the divorce, I lived with my mom back in my home town, where I now have a regular job.
Well, me and my new Egyptian sweetheart want to get married and I want to bring him here to live with me. But first, I have some questions:
1. I do make good money now, but I've only had this job for a year. Is it true you need to have kept your job (earning at least double the poverty level) for 3 years in order to sponsor an immigrant?
2. Is there any way around the above rule? I mean people move sometimes, it happens. People switch jobs. Not everyone has had their current job for 3 or more years... You would think that would be logical. I've heard of co-sponsors, and sure I know people who have had a good job for more than 3 years, but... Just because I know them, doesn't mean they would be willing to do it.
3. What's all this I've been hearing, about American women leaving the USA to stay in Egypt with their husband, while they wait for the Visa to file? How are THEIR husbands getting visas? I know those women can't be earning above the U.S. poverty level, living over there. And if they went to Egypt, they obviously left their U.S. job. How do they do it?
4. We plan to meet in Egypt. But as for getting married and bringing him here--- what would be the best course of action? Should I meet him in Egypt, then file for a fiance Visa from the USA? Or should I marry him there, and then file for a marriage Visa from the USA? Which would be more likely to get him here with me, and take less time?
With my living situation, is it even possible to start the procedure any time soon??

I'm an American citizen, and my husband is British. We started the CR-1 proces, i.e. submitted our I-130 in July 2013. Since then he has visited me 3 times and (hopefully) a fourth - his flight lands in an hour! I've been nervous every time based on various threads I've read here, my lawyer says it's a 50/50 chance, and I even spoke to my congressman's office, and he said he wouldn't recommend it. But my experience has been successful everytime, and thank goodness for that - otherwise I don't know how we would bear the 1+ year process that is still ongoing....

Hey if anyone has visited on their B1/B2 visa as well please post. We know it's really hard to get this visa after you are married or after you start the immigration process but are you able to POE normally without issues?
